In the sticky notes, you've asked us to identify code changes required to get layouts to work in 4.1.

I've got an issue with migrating from 4.0.7 to 4.1b2. The "afterRender" event does not seem to work the same. It severely ruins the layout.

Here is what 4.0.7 looks like :

31901

Here is the exact same code with 4.1b2.
31902

Changing any "afterRender" references to "beforeRender" SORT of fixes the problem. The screen now lays out properly. However, my main toolbar looses all background coloring. See this image:

31904

You can find a complete working sample of this code on Github @ https://github.com/calendee/Ext-JS-4.X-CRUD-Demo . NOTE : This code will no longer work with 4.0.7 because of changing "afterRender" to "beforeRender".

Also note that this layout problem will exist even if you put no supplemental code in the "afterRendor". Simply referencing afterRender causes the layout to fail.

FYI : Here is the exact file that had to be changed to support 4.1b2 : https://github.com/calendee/Ext-JS-4.X-CRUD-Demo/blob/master/app/view/customers/CustomerManagementToolbar.js

You aren't using callParent in your beforeRender/afterRender. I suspect that what's happened is that the overridden method was empty in 4.0.7 so you could get away with a missing callParent but in 4.1 it does some important layout steps so it's causing havoc.
